The diary covers the period from July 6, 1863, to January 27, 1864. Along with the original diary were a series of letters written by Linn or received by him from others during this time period. These letters provide additional detail and perspective. Links to the letters are provided at the appropriate dates within the diary trans script ions, below, or go to the Linn Letters index page to access them all.
It is highly likely additional diary entries were made by Pvt. Linn but these have yet to be found.
